This course builds on Elmhurst’s Understanding PAS 2038 training and provides a clear, practical introduction to how non-domestic retrofit projects should be planned and delivered when triggered by MEES or other regulatory or organisational requirements.

Learners will explore what’s driving non-domestic retrofit, how energy is used across different building types, and where the biggest opportunities for improvement lie. You will gain an understanding of the core roles and competencies involved in the PAS 2038 process, including the responsibilities of the Retrofit Lead Professional, and how this applies across different building sizes.  The course also introduces essential tools for understanding and modelling non-domestic energy use, alongside the fundamentals of building a sound business case, funding routes, lifecycle costing and post-occupancy evaluation.
